Did you know that the Feast of Trumpets is also called the "day and hour that no man knows"" A simple search on the internet yielded the following information:
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah), is sometimes referred to as the "day and hour that no man knows". This is because the exact timing of the feast was traditionally determined by the sighting of the new moon by two witnesses, making the precise moment of its beginning unknown until it was officially announced. This uncertainty surrounding the start of the Feast of Trumpets is why the phrase "no one knows the day or the hour" is sometimes associated with it, according to Prepare for Life Bible Study.
Here's why:
New Moon Sighting:
Rosh Hashanah begins on the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei) in the Jewish calendar, and the exact day was determined by the sighting of the new moon.
Witness Testimony:
Two appointed witnesses would need to confirm the new moon sighting to the Sanhedrin (the Jewish court) before the feast could be declared.
Uncertainty:
Due to factors like weather and the potential for delays in the witnesses' reports, the exact moment of the new moon and the subsequent start of the feast was not known in advance.
Figurative Language:
The phrase "no man knows the day or the hour" is also used figuratively in the Bible, particularly in Matthew 24:36, to emphasize the unexpected and potentially sudden nature of certain events, like the return of Jesus according to some interpretations.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
